Discover the irresistible delight of this winter pudding without delay.
Ingredients:
  • 135g dried date
  • 200g dried fig
  • 310ml water
  • 2.50 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 English breakfast tea bags
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 155g brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 50g butter
  • 200g brown sugar
  • 300ml thickened cream
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 160°C, then line a 20cm round cake pan with baking paper on both the base and sides.
  • In a medium heatproof bowl, mix dates, figs, boiling water, bicarbonate of soda, and tea bags. Let it soak for 10 minutes, then discard the tea bags before moving forward.
  • In an electric mixer, blend butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Gradually add flour and date mixture, alternating between each batch. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, mix together butter, sugar, and cream. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until the butter melts, sugar dissolves, and the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Enjoy the pudding warm or at room temperature drizzled with hot butterscotch sauce.
